Yep it's about that time again. (ACTIVITY CHECK)

ACTIVITY CHECK

Comment with your name, character, character journal, character canon, and links to activity samples.

WHAT COUNTS AS ACTIVITY?

• A post or thread in smashacademy, smash_logs, or tegaki. Activity that occurs over AIM, in journals, musesboxes, or outside of that will NOT count, even if it is Smash-related. What you can do however, is copy that over into one of the acceptable places. For tegaki, it needs to be an actual log and not a for-funsies drawing.

• If it's a post, a single post will do, regardless of the comments it receives, or lack thereof. If you can get us samples that have comments though, we'd prefer that.

• If it's a thread, we're looking for at least 6 comments from you. (So 12 comments if they are talking to someone, and they cannot be 1-2 word exchanges, or icon chains. We need to see your character's voice!) It can be 6 comments in a single thread, or 6 total spread throughout different threads.

• You may provide more than one link if you feel it'll help you pass AC, so long as they fall within the time limits described below.

You must provide samples dated from May 11th, 2013 - June 25th, 2013. Log starting dates do not matter, so long as the TAG DATES fall within the relevant time. You must fill out Activity Check by June 25th, or your dude will get das boot. If your character was accepted after June 18th, you are not required to provide samples. However! If you want to, that's totally cool, and we'd prefer it if you at least say you're here so we don't accidentally overlook you.

If you're on a documented hiatus after May 25th, you are not required to sign or provide samples, but again, if you want to go the extra mile, or are able to at least check in, we'd really appreciate that.

We understand sometimes you're just not feeling a character or you're having a lack of inspiration, or maybe Real Life is really kicking your ass lately. If you're having trouble with a character, you can talk to any one of the mods and we'll be happy to listen. If you feel like you're character squatting but aren't sure what to do or aren't certain, discuss it with us and we'll do our best to help you come to a resolution. Letting go of a character is never easy, but we'd like to avoid character squatting as much as possible for the sake of our current and potential future players.

NOTE: Starting next month and for the months following we will be doing monthly player's check posts (that do not require activity) in addition with our usual quarterly activity check posts like this one (that do require activity), so keep an eye out for those.

I have been on undocumented hiatuses here and there until just two days ago. As of five weeks ago, I've finally been employed full time, had to go through all of my material possessions to put most of them in storage, and other personal things have happened. Now that I don't have to whore myself around the internet for commissions and job interviews anymore, I'm catching up with things now (and wrapping up a very important blackout thread, and I really apologize for this and especially for not branching out in CR much like i should be doing.

You've passed the check, but unfortunately we cannot accept undocumented hiatuses, as stated. In the future, please be sure to comment on the hiatus post in order for it to be considered valid.
